Patent FR-2770158-A1 (FR)
Title: Mineral mixture pre-reduction prior to high temperature melting in a carbon or graphite furnace crucible
Inventor: SUNNEN JEAN
IPC: C03B5/43
Filed: 1997-10-27
Abstract: A mineral mixture is pre-reduced at below 1350 deg C prior to high temperature melting in a carbon or graphite furnace crucible to separate molten metal and molten slag phases. Pre-reduction produces a significant reduction in consumption of the melting furnace electrodes and graphite lining. In a high temperature melting process, in which a melting furnace equipped with a carbon or graphite crucible is used to melt a mixture of mineral materials containing carbon-reducible oxides to separate a molten metal and a molten slag containing oxides not easily reduced by carbon, the melting operation is preceded by pre-reduction at below 1350 deg C. An Independent claim is also included for equipment comprising an incineration furnace, a pre-reduction furnace and a melting furnace for carrying out the above process.

Title: Communications satellite with deployable aerials on either side of main body
Inventor: FOLEY JAMES PAUL
IPC: B64G1/66
Filed: 1998-05-15
Abstract: The satellite carries a first set of deployable panels (22a,22b; 32a,32b) forming an active aerial array, and a second set of deployable panels (42a,42b; 52a,52b) comprising solar generators. In the folded state, the panels of the aerial array are formed into a sandwich between one side of the body of the satellite and the solar generator panels. This folded state ensures that the aerial panels do no become too cold by means of radiation, or too hot by means of insulation, when the satellite occupies a position in an intermediate orbit. The solar panel which is furthest from the centre of the satellite pref. has its active surface directed outwards, so that it can generate electricity when the structures are folded and the satellite is lying in an intermediate orbit.

Patent FR-2793432-A1 (FR)
Inventor: MARTIN PHILIPPE
IPC: H05K1/11
Filed: 1999-05-10
Abstract: The invention relates to the methods which make it possible to establish contacts between two conductive layers separated by an insulating layer.It consists in pressing the complex (101) formed by these three layers between a sonotrode (105) excited by ultrasound perpendicular to the plane of the complex and an anvil (106) whose face in contact with the complex has protruding ridges (107). Under the effect of the pressure and the ultrasound, the ridges deform the complex and make the insulating layer flow. When the conductive layers come into contact, after contraction of the insulating layer, they become welded to one another under the effect of the ultrasound.It makes it possible to obtain, at low cost, completely ohmic contacts between these two conductive layers.
